The present invention relates to a magnetic levitator. The magnetic levitator comprises a first portion having a first arrangement of a plurality of permanent magnets, and the first arrangement has first and second circumferences. The magnetic levitator also comprises a second portion having a second arrangement of a plurality of permanent magnets, and the second arrangement has a third circumference. The first and second arrangements are rotationally symmetrical, and the first circumference is larger than the third circumference. In use, one of the portions is magnetically levitated by the other one of the portions, and the second circumference is arranged substantially aligned to the third circumference.

A tectonic origami device () is disclosed, which includes a flexible supporting substrate (); and a plurality of substantially rigid planar members () arranged on the supporting substrate, the planar members configured in a non-overlapping cooperative arrangement to permit assembly of the device to form an enclosure. The device is configured to be transformable between a collapsed form where the supporting substrate and planar members are collectively in a planar arrangement and an assembled form where the supporting substrate and planar members are collectively assembled as the enclosure.
